Day 19 - Video/Text/Action for Goldenrod [Not Fourth Wall]

[seasaltkeys]

[The video is looking out at the sky, but part of the street and some buildings can be seen. It doesn't take long to figure out that you're up high. The roof of the Goldenrod City department store to be exact. Roxas has just finished his shift and is enjoying the sunset. A few notes in text appear on the screen]

-I made it to Goldenrod City. It's really big here, but I kind of like it.

-Olette evolved in Meganium. She's really big now. Do all pokemon get bigger when they evolve?

-I'm staying at the inn. It's nice. Having my own room.

-Uh, Kisa, my Growlithe hatched. Thank you, again.

[pause]

I wish I'd remembered to bring some ice cream. That would have been the icing on the cake.

I had a weird dream on the weekend. I got to see [hestitation] friends. From home. It was - I wish he - they could have stayed.

Roxas...

....hi Minnie.

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

... It's good to see you doing all right.

video

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah. You to. How's Pluto doing?

video

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

I think he leveled up a bit, strangely enough...

video

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Really? Without you training him?

video

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

Yes! Isn't that odd?

video

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it really is. I didn't know pokemon could do that....

video

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

It makes me wonder if Pokemon were behind the long sleep as well. Pokemon were behind so many of those other strange events...

video

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Maybe they were. But I don't think this sleep was a bad thing...[trailing off, remembering last time, not too sure what to say about that]

video

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

... I think I agree. My dream felt... very nice.

video

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It was much better than...last time.

video

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

Yes, we should count our blessings.

[nod, and then a pause. Roxas is trying to work up the courage]

About last time. Do you--are you...Do you still not trust me?

[... wow, did not see that one coming.]

Roxas!

I...

video

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

...

I do. I do trust you.

video

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

[It's been weighing on his mind]

So you don't think that I...that I would...[lost the words]

video

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

No... I would never. I know you would never.

... Roxas, I'm so sorry, that this has been burdening you. I never meant to hurt you.

[Pause. There's a sense of relief about him, because he's wanting those words of reassurance. But he wants to make sure, needs a promise. Those he can rely on]

So you trust me.

[Not so much a question as a statement]

video

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

[Nods, slow, gentle.]

I trust you. I swear it.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

[Nod. You will be held to that, Minnie]

I believe you.
